This fixes many of the "missing driver" issues by marking more drivers
obsolete and delivering data for generating PPDs only if the driver
package does not deliver it (this will for example make the "ptouch"
driver disappear in the printer setup tools until it gets actually
included in the distro (or will be available for auto-download from the
OpenPrinting web site). But this does not fix all these issues, as there
are many drivers which are not in Ubuntu but their Foomatic data is
delivered by foomatic-db.
Get the new package here to try it out:

In addition, I submitted several new drivers for inclusion in Ubuntu,
